"And I'm sure you will hear most black people defending this barbaric behaviour.. We teach other to steal and protect each other when we do wrong.. They call it poverty.. This is really sad.. A nation of thieves...I pray we change and become better people.. I pray."

Kim Jong UN (@AfricanRiser) empathised with the looters:

"We shall see more of this because people are hungry and this forced LOCKDOWN will be more disastrous than coronavirus itself. Zimbabwe LOADING."

"Talking bollocks man!! Hungry people don’t steal coke."

Lynchpin (@SidwellBroad) said,

"This is so sad... and it had nothing to do with hunger... people were stealing... as a society we normalised thievery in the name of hunger and lockdown. If there's no lockdown, the casualties of the virus will be the poor...and we will all be saying the Government doesn't care."
